Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1659 Observation and Celebration
After Orepus left, Xiaduo didn't have anyone to meet in Savile Town, and after explaining to Mayor Thain, he began to deploy spells to avoid detection around the mage tower.

At the same time, Niya, who received his summons, immediately led some members of the Advancement Society out of the nearby portal, and began to guard the surroundings.

Of course, most of them came to observe Xia Duo's process of linking the magic net for this mage tower.

The whole process was silent, and there was no special light, shadow or movement. When the sky was completely dark, the bored onlookers began to leave.

But for the caster, although they cannot see in the dark under the magic vision, everything about the magic net is clearly visible, and it does not affect the members of the Advancement Society from the Tower of Time to watch.

For this reason, Xia Duo also deliberately slowed down the connection speed. On the one hand, he was indeed a little tired after a busy day, and on the other hand, it was purely for the convenience of the members of the academy to observe.

Although most of them may not be able to see the whole picture of their operation now, Xia Duo believes that even if they can see it, it is enough for them to gain something.

……

Soon, the time came to midnight.

Xia Duo hadn't finished the work yet, but he really couldn't hold on any longer, so he paused decisively, signaling Niya to bring back all the members of the Academy, while he himself stayed.

After a brief dinner and some rearrangement of the guard magic, he fell asleep in the guard camp next to the Mage Tower, which was responsible for guarding the portal.

Early the next morning.

Not long after Xia Duo woke up, Niya walked out of the portal with breakfast. After Xia Duo finished his breakfast, members of the Academy also appeared one after another.

work continues!

Considering that today's workload is not small, after Xia Duo and Niya explained the situation, they opened the spiritual link. Under Xia Duo's command, the two jointly cast spells, and their work efficiency was greatly improved.

After being busy for a while, and being next to her last night, Niya also knew something about the mage tower in front of her, which is different from the traditional mage tower. At this time, she couldn't help asking in the mind link:
"Xia Duo, why doesn't this mage tower have any means of attack?"

"Because it was not originally designed as an all-around or offensive type. It is normal to have no attack means. It can be expanded and added later, and it can also be connected to the Tower of Time for remote support. Don't worry, there will be no situation where you can't fight back after being beaten."

In fact, even if this mage tower is completed, it is only the completion of the function of pulling the mage tower attached to the floating city. If it wants to be used as a normal mage tower as a study and work place for the mage tower, some internal renovations are still needed.

At least, the most important magic laboratory for a mage cannot be absent, and secondly, the fixed portal that facilitates the exchange of personnel between the two mage towers cannot be absent.

The current portal in Savile Town can only be regarded as a semi-permanent portal. There are restrictions on the number of people and the frequency of teleportation. In terms of maintenance costs, it far exceeds the permanent portal.

In addition, as Xia Duo just said, in order to prevent being beaten and unable to fight back, it is necessary to add attack methods, or connect to the Tower of Time.

Finally, the space is expanded. This Mage Tower seems to be taller than the Tower of Time, but it becomes narrower as it goes up. The inherent space inside is very limited. If it does not expand through space, it probably cannot accommodate many apprentices.

It is now July, and the Midsummer Festival enrollment plan at the end of the month is at least calculated in units of hundreds, which completely breaks the limit of the traditional mage tower.

Like the watchtower on Watchtower Island, it can actually only accommodate single-digit high-ranking mages (magic) activities at the same time. Converted to apprentices, it is impossible to go much.

After all, with a large number of apprentices, the energy consumption is not weaker than that of a high-level mage. The other is the space capacity. There is no space expansion, even if it is full of apprentices, it will not be much.

……

Soon, a busy day passed.

The mage tower temporarily named "No. 1 Spire" is almost complete, and half a day is enough to finish it.

However, the completion of this stage does not mean that you can rest, but it is the beginning of the next stage of more busy construction.

night.

After Xia Duo drove all the members of the Advancement Society back to the Tower of Time, he took out a specially transformed large stone slab from the portable space, which was about [-] to [-] square meters in size.

It was placed about 1 meters above the No. [-] minaret, and under the action of the minaret's traction and anchoring functions, the stone slab stopped firmly in mid-air.

Although the No. 1 minaret has not been fully completed, the main functions have been able to start.

In Xia Duo's design, the spire needs to be pulled and anchored by a functional platform, whose area is at least twice the size of the current stone slab.

In addition, under the effect of the gradually changing gravity field emanating from the center of the floating city, the power needed to pull and anchor such a platform is many times greater than the current stone slab.

Now this is just trivial.

The only difference is that if it is the auxiliary functional platform of the floating city, the bottom should be the side away from the steeple, but now, the bottom is the side pointing to the steeple.

However, this is also convenient for Xia Duo.

After placing the slate, Xia Duo placed a dining table and chairs on the slate one after another. After inviting Niya to take a seat, Xia Duo stretched out his hand and drew a circle on the table.

The next moment, a regular circular mirror appeared between the two, but neither of them saw the other's figure through the mirror, but at the same time, they saw the scene in the mirror that the chef of the canteen of the territory was cooking.

It was so late, and it was obviously Xia Duo's advance order that there were still people staying in the cafeteria of the territory.

Seeing that two dishes had been prepared on the preparation table next to the stove, Xia Duo directly reached in and brought them out. He seemed to think that the mirror was a bit of an eyesore, so Xia Duo moved it to the dining table with a wave of his hand.

In this way, he and Niya can see each other.

"You have worked hard these two days, and the night is just right. Let's celebrate that the new mage tower is about to be completed." Xia Duo raised his glass to Niya.

"Well, cheers!" Niya said this in Chinese.

In order to have more common language and a closer way of thinking with Niya, Xia Duo has been teaching Niya the language of her hometown since last year.

Up to now, Niya doesn't have too many problems in daily conversation.

"cheers!"

Xia Duo drank the spirit fruit wine in the glass in one gulp. It was the beginning of the month, and the bright and nearly full moon was reflected in the wine. Drinking it seemed to drink the moonlight into his belly.

Although Xia Duo's wine had never been chilled, it really tasted chilled.

And he wasn't the only one feeling this way, Niya called out in surprise after taking a sip, "This wine—"

"What's wrong with this wine?"
